  • How to Treat a Broken Bone that Didn't Heal Correctly

    Broken bones can occasionally heal in the wrong position, forming a “malunion” or “malalignment” after treatment. These misaligned bones can cause further problems and pain in the body.

  • Listener Question: What Should I Do About Bone Fractures?

    A common question people may ask is whether a bone fracture will heal itself or if it needs to be treated by a doctor. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Justin Haller says it depends on the severity.

  • Trauma Center or ER for Broken Bone?

    When injuries occur, patients may have choices for different trauma centers to visit. Dr. Tom Miller speaks with orthopedic surgeon Dr.

  • Physician Profile: Justin Haller

    Dr. Justin Haller talks about his medical philosophy and what makes his practice unique.
